皇冠体育app Literature's open platform enables developers to include its content on their apps, which will create new revenue streams. So far, it has partnerships with nearly 50 e-book platforms, including Baidu and JD.com.

The company has also launched a multi-language site to translate some of the most successful online novels in 皇冠体育app for overseas readers. It aims to take its multibillion-yuan business globally.

As the online entertainment ecosystem continues to mature, there are huge possibilities out there in cyberspace.

During the past two years, 皇冠体育app Literature has sold the rights of authorized online novels to companies that are part of its 100-strong client base. Many have been made into movies, TV dramas and online games.

The plan is to share online content and develop quality IPs or copyrighted material.

"The internet not only works simply as a medium but also appears fashionable and trendy," said Dong of the literary division at iQiyi.
